Watering your lawn

While it may be very easy to give your lawn a quick watering every day, any pro will tell you that a better plan is to water deeply and less frequently.

Giving the grass a good long soak is another way to encourage roots to grow deeply into the soil, which strengthens the lawn and helps it survive during times of drought. When the grass has started to look a little grayish and the blades don’t bounce back when you walk on them, it’s time to water. Run the sprinkler until you can easily push a ¼ inch diameter dowel or plant stake about 12 inches into the ground. You don’t want the soil to be so saturated that if you squeeze a handful, it drips, but you do want the soil to be a little sticky.
